U17 Hurricane tournament update

Below find some updated season/tournament info from Joel, along with updated ranking status for our team.

-------- Original Message --------

From:	joelbanta@aol.com

Parents and Players,

These are the current tournaments that the U17 players will be attending. Gregg will be attaching some information that you may want to follow through with. This is the season where coaches really view players at these events(junior/senior year's) and that is why we are taking this team to better events than last year. In the event that college coaches watch us play, it would be an excellent opportunity to give them information on your son. Please take the time to do this it is important to have(resume).Formal training will start on August 16th at 7pm. For that week and the next we will train four nights in a row (Mon-Thurs). We will also be scrimmaging the U18's every week. During those first two weeks, we will scrimmage them on a Saturday mornings (TBA). When school starts we will be going back to Mon, Wed and Thursday nights (7-8:30). Also remember I am running a fitness and technique camp for the next two weeks(mon-thurs 6pm-7:30) cost is 5 dollars each night. See you soon.

Joel

Player Resume Info

It has been suggested to have these available at tournaments for college coaches for any player wishing to provide one. We can have one parent volunteer to coordinate this (collect resumes, make copies, distribute), or we can simply to the "do it yourself" approach.

Do-it-yourself method: complete a resume for your son. Provide me with multiple copies prior to each tournament. I'll group them together and have them available for tournament officials/college coaches, etc. (We don't really have club funds to pay for the copies, printouts, etc. so this method spreads the work and expense among the parents/players who are interested.) No obligation, no deadline. Opt-in or opt-out throughout the season as desired.

Contact me if you need a copy of the resume template.

Fall 2010 League info for 93 Hurricanes

The CoastFA staff have selected tournaments for the fall, and I have just completed the on-line application process for our team. The fall schedule will be determined at the August 8 scheduling meeting. I can pass along the following information at this time.

League games may start as early as August 21 and will be completed by November 13. We have blocked the following dates and planned the following tournaments:
Aug 21: BYE#1 (to delay the start of league play)
Sept 4/5 Labor Day weekend: planning a major tournament in either Atlanta (Atlanta Cup, if accepted) or Greensboro Adidas Labor Day Shootout.
Oct 9/10: BYE#2 - to allow us to attend the Virginia Beach Columbus Day tournament
Nov 6/7: BYE#3 - to allow us to attend the Peachbelt Tournament in Aiken (College Showcase)

As you know, we had a very good finish in State Cup last fall. This has improved our national ranking and given us opportunity for some of the higher level tournaments. We were actually ranked a little higher last week, but currently we are 4th in SC, 30th in Region III, and 40th Nationally.
http://www.soccerincollege.com/sicteam.aspx?id=SCM94032&club=SC005

Additional planning info: If planning to take the SAT this fall, there is an available date in December (Dec 4).
http://sat.collegeboard.com/register/sat-dates

Once the fall schedule is determined, complete travel and tournament expenses will be determined (as we did last year), and this money will be collected in advance to fund the team checking account. This account will be used for tournament application fees, mileage reimbursement, per diem, etc.

As always, this e-mail -- as well as other important e-mails -- will be posted to our team blog at http://soccer.turbeville.org/ Bookmark that page and refer to it as needed during the season.

From:	Joel Banta

Parents,

I just wanted to give you some information before I leave for Georgia this Saturday. First of all I have attached some fitness exercises that we will be doing in August upon my return. The players need to be working hard during the month of July to come into the pre-season fit to play. They will be tested on the first day of practice and every one after for the next 2 weeks, and if they do not finish the 120 test they will not be allowed to play small sided games at the end of each session until they pass the test.(please encourage your son to spend this next month working out with and without the ball) Also I have listed below the training schedule for the month of August, until school starts. As well as that we have picked our tournament dates for the fall and they are listed also. Finally some of you have still not registered!! If you do not register by July 1st we can not determine if you are committed to play, and we need to register for league play. I can not register a team that only has 12 players that are committed. This means 5 of the selected players for our team have not committed and are holding up the process! We will not be able to play in the challenge league if these five do not register immediately.

Thanks
Joel
